		<span style="text-transform: capitalize">LA</span><span style="font-weight: 400"><i>e</i></span><span style="text-transform: capitalize">M</span>ail</a></h3>
		<p>LAeMail is simple to use. After starting the program, you are presented with the main screen:</p>
        <p align="center"><img border="0" src="laemail.png" width="800" alt="mail view" /></p>
        <p>There are three tabs on the main screen:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Send - this is the main tab where you setup the details of the email to send, the recipient list, etc</li>
	<li>Settings - Choose this tab to set your email server settings. For more details <a href="#Settings">click here</a></li>
	<li>Help - Shows this screen</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email Details</h4>
<p>Aside from your <a href="#Settings">server settings</a>, there are three main email setting required before you can send your bulk emails:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Subject - This is the subject line shown on the email. To change, edit the 'Subject' text box.</li>
			<li>Body Text - This is a file containing the main text of the email. To select a file, click the '...' button next to the 'Body Text' text box. Note, the body text file can be either a standard text file or a web page (page containing HTML). For more details about using <a href="#Using_Web_Pages">web pages, click here</a>.</li>
			<li>Recipients - This is a file containing the list of recipients. This is a text file with one or more lines of text, each line beginning with an email address. For more details about <a href="#Recipient_Files">recipient files, click here</a>.</li>
		</ul>
<p>After setting these details, the 'Start' button is enabled and you can start sending emails.</p>
<h4>Sending Emails</h4>
<p>Once you have set the email details and ensured your email server settings 
are correct, click the 'Start' button. That's it - LAeMail will now work through 
the list of email recipients, sending the emails to each recipient in turn:</p>
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="laemailsending.png"  width="800" alt="Sending emails" /></p>
<p>As LAeMail works through the list of email recipients, the progress screen shows the following details:</p>
<ul>
	<li>The total number of emails to be processed</li>
	<li>The total emails processed</li>
	<li>A count of the emails sent successfully</li>
	<li>A count of the errors encountered</li>
	<li>The current progress - names the email being sent and the status of the send operation</li>
</ul>
<p>At any point, LAeMail can be stopped by clicking the 'Stop' button.</p>
<h4><a name="Using_Web_Pages">Using Web Pages</a></h4>
<p>As well as sending text files, LAeMail can send web pages (files with .HTM or .HTML extensions). These files contain HTML tags rather than plain text and are handled differently by email clients such as Microsoft Outlook Express.</p>
<p>LAeMail is capable of sending any web page as an email. Before sending the email, LAeMail checks for the &lt;html&gt;, &lt;head&gt; and &lt;body&gt; tags. If any of these are found, the email is sent as an HTML email. Note, there are a few rules you need to remember when sending a web page email:</p>
<ul>
	<li>When sending a web page, you can only send a single page.</li>
	<li>Any links on the page must be available from the internet and shouldn't refer to local files on your machine.</li>
	<li>The web page can contain images, but again, these must be images available from the internet - web pages cannot contain embedded pictures or links to pictures on your local machines.</li>
	<li>Any references to java script files (.JS files) or style sheets (.CSS) must refer to files available on the internet and not files local to your machine.</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, the main theme here is that the page must be either self contained or if there are links to images, style sheets, etc, these need to be accessible over the internet.</p>
<h4><a name="Recipient_Files">Recipient Files</a></h4>
<p>Recipient files are text files containing a list of email addresses. Each line of the file should start with a valid email address in the form of
<b>name@host.xxx</b> such as <a href="mailto:nigel@lowrieweb.com">
nigel@lowrieweb.com</a> .</p>
<p>The example below shows a text file with two email entries, one on each line 
of the file:</p>
<p align="center">
<textarea rows="5" cols="24">nigel@lowrieweb.com
support@lowrieweb.com
</textarea> </p>
<p>The recipient file can contain as many email addresses as you requires, so long 
    as each address exists on a separate line in the file and each line begins with 
    the email address. </p>
		<hr/>
		<h3><a name="Settings">Settings</a></h3>
		<p>The settings tab allows you to set your email server settings. You 
		only need to do this once if you are sending emails from the same 
		machine. The server settings tells LAeMail all about your email server 
		and the sender address:</p>
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="laemailsettings.png"  width="800" alt="Settings" /></p>
<p>Use this screen to set:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Server - This is the host name or IP address of your SMTP server. </li>
	<li>Port Number - The port used for SMTP. The typical value of this setting is 25. Port 587 is also frequently used. </li>
	<li>Sender - This is the email address used in the 'From' line for the email.</li>
	<li>Friendly Name - If supplied, this name is displayed in the email 'From' line.</li>
	<li>Anonymous User - Click this box if your email server allows the sender to be anonymous, that is, no username and password is required when sending the mail.</li>
	<li>User - If your email server requires authentication, supply a valid user name to log into the server</li>
	<li>Password - If your email server requires authentication, supply a valid password for the logged in user.</li>
	<li>Log to File - Click this box if you want to log the progress to file.</li>
</ul>
